Fighting Game & Character Terminology

also , it seems to be a sf4 only thing/glitch (maybe umvc3 too).

[Renzo F]

Nope, at least I know it's present in Melty Bood too.

[Niitris]

Instant overheads, yeah they're present in ArcSys fighters too.

[Bastard Mami]

not "instant" overheads, but the fuzzy guard thing. "instant" oerheads are present in any game that has jumping attacks, lol.

[Niitris]

Ack, I was trying too hard to use different terms but yeah, they have fuzzy.

Should also mention that Mortal Kombat also has fuzzy guard as found in 3D fighters. MK uses strings of course so it makes sense.

yeah thats the cool thing about glitches in fighting games, they don't necessarily deter the game but they're more likely to became part of the gameplay once they're figured out and exploited.
kara throws and plinking are both glitches iirc but they're heavily used as a gameplay mechanic of their games.

[Renzo F]

Kara Trhrows -at least in SFIV- don't account as glitches... they were a completely intentional feature (they already existed in 3s). For plinking, you can say it's a glitch in SFIV, but not in SFxT or SFV since -again- they were intentionally implemented.

i was referring to 3S when i said Kara Throws yeah. i guess i should've said "of their respectful games."
